A brief history about me:

I have been an entrepreneur for 20 years and currently run several successful businesses. However, my success did not happen overnight, as I’ve made some knuckle-headed decisions that ended up in disaster and business failure. However, I got back up, dusted off my knees and started over. You cannot be a champion if you give up after the first failure. If that were the case, Donald Trump would not be where he is today. Every successful person has a failure or two along the way; it’s what you learn by those mistakes and decisions to transform who you are today.

I hold several licenses, including a Florida Real Estate License and a Florida Mortgage Brokers License. I have won several awards including Who’s Who for Women Business Owners; Multi-Million Dollar Club (Real Estate); Top Producer; Top 100 Women in Business Tampa Bay; just to name a few.

I am demanding inasmuch as I expect your best. Perfections is not necessary but a goal to achieve.

My overall desire is acquainting you with the reality of business ownership while performing various tasks. I’ll teach you and you perform for me. It’s a win-win situation and can be considered a success for the both of us.

If you are interested in interning for me, please do the following:

¨ Send me an email with “I want to be your intern” in the subject line. Email to Kelli[at]BriefcaseDiva.com.

¨ In the body of the email, give me a brief summary of your experience, skills, strengths and weaknesses (we all have them, so this is not a trick question)

¨ What do YOU expect to gain from this arrangement (in other words, what are your goals to achieve?);

¨ Why do you feel that I should choose you as my intern?

Honesty is the key here. I’m not looking for someone who knows it all, just someone who is dedicated in learning to be successful.
